President Donald Trump has said he won’t pardon Sean “Diddy” Combs after the music mogul was found guilty, even though there had been rumors that he was thinking about it.
Trump’s statements have sparked a new round of social media chatter, and rapper 50 Cent has once again added his own mocking.
Earlier this week, reports came up saying that Trump was seriously thinking about giving Diddy a pardon. But in a recent interview with Newsmax, Trump said he wasn’t sure if it would happen because of past problems between him and Combs.
“He was really rude when I ran for office,” Trump said. You realize it’s difficult? We are human. Furthermore, we don’t want anything to interfere with our judgment, do we? However, when you knew him, you were okay with him. However, when you ran for office, he said some terrible things. So, I’m not sure. Things make tasks more difficult.
Additionally, Trump referred to Diddy as “sort of half-innocent,” a reference to the case’s unclear result. I suppose it wasn’t as great of a win, but he was still pleased with his victory.
Combs was recently convicted of two counts of prostitution-related transportation. He was acquitted of conspiracy to commit racketeering and s** trafficking. He will be sentenced on October 3 and faces a maximum term of 20 years in jail.
50 Cent, a rapper and businessman who has been quite vocal about Diddy’s legal problems, didn’t miss the chance to say something. He uploaded a picture of himself laughing with Trump that was made by AI and said, “Can you believe he thought he was getting pardoned?” No, you are not. You said some really harsh things…
The post rapidly became popular online. Someone joked, “Who taught 50 how to use AI?” Come out! Someone another said, “I just knew you were going to post something.”
Some people gave more direct answers. One commenter said, “50, you’re doing too much now, bro,” and another said, “I wish I was as petty as you.”
Even though some people were upset, a lot of 50 Cent’s fans liked his jokes and how he kept trolling. A admirer even said it was the best one thus far.
Diddy’s sentencing is still months away, and Trump is still a controversial political figure. The mix of politics, pop culture, and celebrity feuds shows no signs of stopping down.
